I have a few choices to write about for the diversity questions and your thoughts are appreciated.

1. Artistic endeavors: including photography, graphic design using Photoshop, and website building - all of which are self-taught. They all seem to relate to each other but I don't know if I should choose one specific one to talk about. Note: I put photography in the work/activities section already, but not as a meaningful experience but I can definitely expand to talk about why it's meaningful.

2. First-generation college & immigrant experience and how they helped me become who I am today (strong, independent, etc.)

3. My current fellowship with the CDC which gives me a glimpse into how the federal, state, and local departments work together to ensure the public is healthy. Also how physicians fit into the public health system as a whole. I included this in the primary work/activities section as a meaningful activity but I think it's still a very intersting experience.

There are lots to talk about but little space...which one(s) would you like to hear about?

The insights you've received from experience #3 would be the most unique of those you suggested among med school applicants and would attract my interest.
